Dustin bought Jen the TWILIGHT series books as one of her Christmas presents in 2007 – she has yet to read them (hey – I would much rather play with Zach right now than read a book!). People freaked out over here when it came to the theaters making us think this was something better than Harry Potter. The TWILIGHT movie just released to DVD – and we had a free rental at red box…so we got it for last night…..
We don’t understand the hype over it. We thought the movie was slow and could have used a few more “special effects” – definitely did not have too big of a budget to create this Harry Potter wannabe. Is this another case where the book is better than the movie? Would you have understood the movie better if you read the book first? I guess I need to crack that book open to find out!

I think the movie was lame. Definitely a low budget movie. The books are good though. Do take the time to read them. I think you'll like them!
I think you would have liked the movie more if you had read the books. They did have to leave some things out and change it up a bit. If you weren't able to get past the low, very low budget then that sucks. I would even recommend reading all the books before watching the movie so that you know the whole story not just the first one. Can't wait to see you all soon.
By the way, with the shoes, I pick the converse, but the boys would totally pick the police shoes. And you will find out as he gets older that it is not often what you want him to wear that will win out. Good luck!
